Time is running out for Hawaii’s top amateurs to qualify for the 2009 State Championships to be held at Ala Moana Bowls in June. The final qualifying event will be held at Kewalo’s on May 2nd and 3rd. Entries are still open for all divisions.

Between six and nine surfers from each division of the Hawaii Surfing Association (HSA) Hard Rock Cafe Series on Oahu will qualify for States. Those on the cusp include newly crowned Quiksilver ISA U16 World Junior Champion Keanu Asing, Waimanalo’s Ha’a Aikau, and super-charged North Shore menehune Makana Pang and Finn McGill.
